Waltzing with Bears
Lately, I’ve been re-reading Waltzing with Bears. Remember that old jingle, “I’d like to buy the world a Coke™?” Well I’d like to buy the world an heirloom box set of “Waltzing with Bears” and Lister and DeMarco’s other masterpiece, Peopleware.
These slender volumes both put the torch to all the familiar idiocies taking place every day in software project management the world over.
Warning: exposure to such high levels of sense and refreshing sanity may result in a desire to quit your job and start your own company.

I’ve added WwB to my reading list, and grabbed Peopleware from the libary to have in my bag for RailsConf. My brain will probably pop after a few days of DeMarco, Lister, and Heinemeier Hansson.
